1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Surface water
Forty water quality monitoring locations across the surface drainage network system have been selected for investigation. These locations take into account the main objectives of the project and the requirement to understand actual water quality variation across the wetlands of Metropolitan Colombo. The current SLLRDC monitoring network of eight sampling points is included in the project locations in order to verify historical data.
The sampling period does not cover an annual cycle, which should be the minimal length of time for accurate and reliable conclusions. Despite that, the relatively stable climate in Colombo allows some strategic lessons to be learnt.
Based on this small dataset, and using only the first campaign to assess water quality on the top water layer (water sampling location), we can conclude for the canals with reference to the UE Water Framework Directive (WFD) Scores that:
‐ Very bad quality found in 50% of the network
‐ Bad water quality found in 15% of the network
‐ Medium quality found in 15% of the network
‐ Good quality found in 20% of the network
Ammonia, phosphorus and total dissolved solids (TDS) are the main problematic parameters particularly in the western area.
Regarding the historical data (from 2004 to 2014), we can conclude:
‐ The historical network shows a bad or very bad quality for 64% of the stations, which concurs with the assessment from this study.
‐ The pollution increase is growing faster from 2010 to now. Eventhough as a result the actual water quality is poor, the anthropogenic pollution sources can be easily identified and reduced with an efficient management plan. At a larger time‐scale, 5‐years pollutions can even been considered as a short time pollution, with a natural ecological potential still remaining on the watershed.
‐ Most parameters that are showing a reduction in quality are due to domestic waste water. For instance:
o Turbidity: sharp deterioration since 2010 ; o BOD: deterioration since 2010; o COD: deterioration since 2010; o Ammonia: partially deterioration since 2011; o Phosphate: high deterioration in 2014.
‐ From the end of 2014 water quality seems to improve for all parameters.
‐ Parliament Lake and Kelani river remains in a good or medium quality only regarding to those parameters. However, degradation has also been record since 2010.
‐ The historical dissolved oxygen values seem to be very low and show no correlation with sampling results produced during this study. Other parameters are substantially equivalent. It does raise questions about SLLRDC laboratory reliability or reliability of the University sampling.
With regard to Beira Lake, the following are the main conclusions :

‐ Permanent Chla high rate seems to be maintained by: on the one hand, new input of nitrogen and phosphorus from catchment area, on the other hand by the nutrients stock in sediment water.
‐ Sediment water represents a main stock of nutrients for the whole lake system. A management plan needs to embed sediment dredging activities or/and reduction in nutrient level in sediment.
‐ Bloom variations create difficult biogenic condition: in one hand top layer alkaline pH, in the other hand, bottom layer low oxygenation.
‐ During this sampling period, bottom layer conditions are still not abiotic: pH does not become very acid, dissolved oxygen (DO) level medium, iron and manganese dissolved part is bad but it could be worst, taking account permanent bloom and trophic status.
‐ Chlororphyla confirms hypertrophic status.
‐ The microbiological contamination is not really high level, indeed waste water collection seems to be partially successful.
‐ The sediment does not show huge micropollutants contamination. On the other hand, the sediment possess medium to bad heavy metal contamination (in particular lead and zinc). Dredging activities need to be clearly regulated and fishing strictly prohibited during such works.
‐ Salinity increase in the bottom layer (2 meters depth) during a period infers that the salted water wedge is clearly not far from the top of aquifer.
For the phytoplankton assessment, Cyanophyceae mainly dominate the population of all sites, and especially on 5 in‐lake locations: Beira Lake, East Lake and Floating Market. The cell densities are higher for those stations, without however reaching a 20000 cells/mL (only for potentially toxic taxa) threshold, considered as health hazardous in Europe.
Those potentially toxic taxa (Lyngbya, Microcystis, Oscillatoriaet Phormidium) were identified on most of the sites excepted stations 4, 9 and 12. Blooms have not been observed neither quantified with the phytoplankton population analysis, but need to be monitored especially throughout yearly climatic fluctuation. Indeed, favorable conditions for algae blooms can occur with climatic seasonal variation.
To conclude, we define two different action plans:
‐ For Beira Lake: Our study fills some specific gaps (sediment quality) but considerable elements are missing in order to have a complete and comprehensive overview. The main compartments are the fauna (fish, worms in sediment, zooplankton) and flora (algae). In the same way, it is absolutely necessary to undertake such a study for the duration of at least one year, and ideally for three years. Nevertheless, the course of action mentioned in previous studies basically remains strong and is developed.
‐ Water quality monitoring strategy: According to this assessment, we have designed a monitoring strategy. This should only be considered as the first step in the development of the whole strategy. Nevertheless we proposed key points for both Activities 1 and 2.

Groundwater
Underground water bodies have annual cycles, depending on climate (rainfall, temperature) and seasons. In that respect, a 5‐week monitoring is totally inadequate to draw firm conclusions: information collected during 5 weeks is just a little pattern of the whole year cycle. There is no correct data interpretation possible with such a short monitoring period.

2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY This study is divided into three parts:
Wetland Surface water functioning:
The purpose of this study is :
A. In the one hand : to assess water quality in canals through a large water quality monitoring network in order to know chemical caracteristics and pollution amount;
B. In the other hand: to assess water quality in Beira Lake to have a better understanding of relationships between each compartments (water, sediments).
Wetland Groundwater functioning:
The main objectives are to understand groundwater quality and to evaluate the relationships between groundwater and wetland physical hydrology and water quality.
Water quality monitoring network improvement:
Using previous results, trying to improve the monitoring to achieve a better real time understanding of the situation by the WMB and an appropriate management.
3 METHODOLOGY AND PROTOCOLS
3.1. SURFACE WATER Selection of the monitoring stations location across the surface drainage network
Forty water quality monitoring locations across the surface drainage network system have been selected. These locations take into account the main objectives of the project and the requirement to understand actual water quality variation. The current SLLRDC monitoring network of eight sampling points is included in the project locations in order to verify historical data. The precise monitoring locations across the surface water drainage system are selected accordingly to the following features:
• Topography; • Stream order; • Stagnant flow areas; • Inflows and outflows of lakes and wetlands; • Depth of the water body; • Direction of the surface water flow and distance from the water body; • Adjacent land use; • Potential pollution risks from the surrounding area; • Geological and hydrological characteristics; and • Vegetation of the area.

A field survey was conducted before selecting the exact monitoring pointsposition torecord and clarify the above characteristics, to ensure synergy with other field activities and to assess the accessibility of each location for monitoring.
Monitoring methodology
Monthly monitoring was conducted from April to August. The monitoring evaluation involved a combination of in situ assessments using hand‐held water quality meters and the collection of water samples for laboratory analysis. The following parameters have been recorded using in situ field instruments:
• pH • Electrical conductivity • Salinity • Turbidity • Temperature • Dissolved oxygen.
For each canal or stream location up to five in situ points were monitored for the above parameters to verify cross sectional water quality variation. This has involve recording water quality parameters from locations adjacent to each bank, at the surface, mid‐depth and just above channel bed in the middle of the water course (see drawing above). Those measurements helped to detect the presence of saltwater intrusion within the surface drainage network.
Monthly samples have been collected from all forty locations for laboratory chemical analysis. Samples were collected both during the rainy and dry season. Each sample was collected at mid‐depth of the water body, stored in clean sampling bottles and kept cool during transportation to the laboratory. Analyses were conducted at the SGS Lanka (Pvt) Ltd laboratory using standard analytical techniques. The following parameters were ascertained through analysis of the collected samples:
• pH • Total suspended solids • Ammonia (NH 3) • Nitrate (as N) • Phosphate (PO4) • Chemical Oxygen Demand • Biological Oxygen Demand • Total faecal coliforms • E‐coli • Chlorophyll • Algal diversity.
During sampling local information was registered on a standardised monitoring sheet. Any features or activities which could influence water quality were recorded, such as presence of litter, influent discharge, morphological disturbance to the channel or substrate or watercourse management activities such as removal of invasive species. A GPS location was taken for each sampling site.

3.2. BEIRA LAKE Selection of the monitoring point location in the Beira Lake
The in situ water sampling locations were selected by using a systematic sampling method (Figure 2). A grid method was used to determine the sampling locations. In each water body that comprise the larger Beira Lake eight to ten sampling points were selected for in situ analysis. All the locations were marked with a GPS. Laboratory water analysis were conducted to measure pH, electrical conductivity, salinity, total dissolved solids, temperature, and dissolved oxygen using the hand‐held instruments. Desk‐based reviews were conducted to collect historical data on the water quality and catchment land use to understand the present day context of the Lake. In order to fully understand the functioning of the Lake the following items have been prepared as a result of the work:
• Mapping of the surface drainage catchments. • Mapping of the sewer system. • Mapping of the storm water system. • Mapping of characterized inflow discharges to the lake. • Comprehensive analysis of the hydrologic and hydraulic functioning of the catchment. • Synthesis of the recent project that was implemented to disconnect the illegal
communications between storm and sewer system. • Identification of issues.
The above information was synthesized into a summary which identifies the issues and makes recommendations on future management and improvements. This summary aimed to include, non‐exhaustively:
• Identification and classification of pollutions sources. • Ownership of pollution sources. • Identification of historical and current water vectored problems. • Identification of future or planned problems to be addressed (e.g. hospital, etc.). • An assessment of the efficiency of the works already undertaken. • Recommendations on restoration and improvement works including source control, in‐Lake
works and regulating/policy‐related approaches.

3.3. SEDIMENT Rationale
Sediments can serve as a sink as well as a potential source for toxic and conventional pollutants. Even if discharges of pollutants to water bodies are greatly reduced or completely eliminated, contaminated sediments can serve as a continuing source of pollution to the aquatic environment contributing to both ecological and human impacts.
Sampling methodology
Sediment samples were collected from five water bodies: Beira Lake, Diyawanna Lake and Thalangama Tank. Three samples were taken from Beira Lake (one for each of the three distinct parts of the lake system) and one from the each of the other two lakes (Figure 5 and Table 2). In each distinct lake three sediment samples were taken and to derive a composite sample. All the locations were identified using a hand‐held GPS. Sediment samples were collected using a grab (Figure 4), transferred to sample containers and cooled for transport to the laboratory. Sediment analyses were conducted by the SGS. The laboratory analysis assessed the sediment for the following parameters, even though the utility of some of the parameters was limited as they represent pore water:

3.4. GROUND WATER Introduction
The groundwater quality in the Metropolitan Colombo urban area, and particularly in the Sri Lankan Parliament lake area, has been under threat over the past few decades with the increase of urbanization, industrial development and extensive application of fertilizer in agricultural activities together with high rates of water extraction resulting rapid groundwater depletion, saline intrusion and groundwater pollution (Nandaseela S., Ranjana.U.KPiyadasa, 2015). Groundwater is constantly moving and it is replenished by rainfall, particularly from rainfall events and during the monsoon rains from April to July including wet and dry periods. Groundwater levels and flow rates vary with the seasons. Bacteria levels in the upper part of an aquifer can fluctuate between harmless to lethal values over the sampling period. The water chemistry and bacteria levels can also change with depth below ground due to different human activities surrounding the area. In general, deeper groundwater tables tend to give an accurate overview of the chemical profile of the aquifer whereas the quality of shallow aquifer is more likely to be easily disturbed (for instance flash floods, discrete pollution events) and therefore will not reflect potential chronic pollution Therefore the boreholes were designed to draw from deeper groundwater rather than shallower water that may have been recently contaminated.
Selection of the boreholes and borehole construction
Six borehole locations were selected considering the objective to understand current groundwater quality and the relationship with wetlands and Parliament Lake. During selecting process, the following characteristics were considered along with discussions with the client:
• Topography of the area; • Direction of the surface water flow; • Distance from the water body; • Potential pollution risks from the surrounding area; • Geological and hydrological characteristics; • Vegetation of the area; and • Security of the well.
Field verification was conducted prior to drilling to identify above mentioned characteristics and the access requirements for drilling equipment and monthly monitoring.
Construction was carried out by contract with the Water Resources Board (WRB‐ Government Organization). The final locations were recorded using GPS. The boreholes were excavated to a total depth of 15 to 20m. Borehole logs were recorded for each location. Well construction was monitored and drilling samples were collected during the borehole construction by technical officers from the University of Colombo.
Borehole water sample analysis
The following laboratory analysis (as per surface water samples) were conducted for monthly alter samples taken from the six boreholes over the period between August and September:

• pH; • Conductivity; • Turbidity; • Total suspendedsolids; • Dissolvedoxygen; • Ammonia (NH 3); • Nitrate (as N); • Phosphate (PO4); • Chemical OxygenDemand; • Biological Oxygen Demand; • Salinity; • Total faecal coliforms; • E‐coli; • Chlorophyll.
In addition to the laboratory analysis, in situ measures were conducted for pH, electrical conductivity, salinity, total dissolved solids, temperature and dissolved oxygen using hand‐held instruments. Laboratory analyses were conducted by the SGS.
Measuring the groundwater levels
Measurements were taken from a fixed reference point such as the top of the borehole casing or a particular point on the rising pipe. The reference point was marked with tape or paint, and its elevation recorded. When the water level in the well is shallow (below 2m under ground level) ordinary measuring tape can be used to measure the water surface, however when the water level is below 2m below ground level water levels were measured by an electronic ‘dipper’. During the monitoring process, local information was recorded on the well monitoring sheets. Features near the well which might influence water quality, such as swallow holes, rivers, lakes, fuel storage tanks, effluent pipes, farmyards, roads, septic tank percolation areas and soakaways were recorded. For
each feature, the distance from the well and whether it is up‐slope, down‐slope or across‐slope from the well was recorded. Observations were confined to the area extending 60m up‐slope of the well and approximately 15m down‐slope of the well.
Data analysis and outputs
The objectives were to assess seasonal variation in water levels for the six boreholes but their building was too late to achieve this goal. However, water quality data have been compared among the six locations in order to identify spatial or temporal relationships.

4 SURFACE WATER FUNCTIONING OF THE WETLAND
This section gives an overview of chemical quality in the study area during 4 months and provides some key points to understand the canal functioning system.
The assessment has been divided into two components:
‐ In situ water chemistry: sampled four times and from the top to the bottom layer within the water body. This provides information of how water quality evolves.
‐ Laboratory water chemistry: single sample that provides a picture of the amount of pollution.
All the data have been scored by using European Water Framework Directive classification (Appendix 2). The scores are based on scientific approach according to aquatic life tolerance of fish, invertebrates (insect larvae, worms, etc.) and algae regarding pollution assessed. However, Sri Lankan context of fauna/flora being probably different in some way than European area, that is why we have made the choice not to take account scores relating to temperature as well as conductivity and salinity due to coastal situation of the canal system. However, according to aquatic life, we kept up scores for pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity (and TSS/TDS), BOD, COD, Ammonia, Nitrate, Phosphate, Chlorophyll a and coliforms (including E. coli).
4.1. IN SITU PARAMETERS In situ parameters provide information on the relationship between the watershed environment (air, sediment) and water chemistry. It can be the fastest way of identifying an imbalance in an ecosystem. Each parameter is described with regard to problems and,where possible,pollution sources:
pH
pH scale runs from 0 to 14, however in a water body values that are roughly between 6 and 8 are not usually indicative of any ecosystem imbalance. pH is the most stable parameter across the canal system and practically pH neutral (mean = 6.8). It ranges from 6.3 to 7.4 and can be considered to be non problematic for aquatic life.
pH is also:
‐ Very stable from one location to another;
‐ Very stable within the water column;
‐ Very stable during the 4 sampling periods: maximum variation reached 1.4 in Kolonnawa Canal in the bottom layer.

Conductivity/Salinity
Taking into account the fact that the sensor calculates salinity using conductivity, temperature and pressure, salinity evolves in line with conductivity which is typical for Colombo where very low variation of temperature and pressure persist.
High rates of conductivity can be associated with pollution, but also due to saline intrusion. We can also consider the implications of proposed sea level rise, which may be as much as 0.658m over the next 50 years (UNDP, 2012 Hazard profiles of Sri Lanka). Due to the small data set it may be difficult in our case to discriminate the reason of increasing conductivity value.
The field observations are the following:
‐ No stratification along the water column during May, July and August campaigns contrary to July campaign: Canal Kottawa North, Kirulapone canal, Dehiwalacanal, Redbanaela. On these locations, conductivity increase with depth.
‐ Conductivity ranges all over the stations between 76 µS/cm in Atunkedeniyamedaela and 4200 µS/cm in Dehiwala canal (bottom layer, 1.20 depth).
‐ Mean conductivity reaches 330 µS/cm but the median value is slightly lower in May and July and slightly higher in June and August correlated with more marine water upwelling. The Dehiwala canal can present conductivity from 255 to 4200 µS/cm. Locations without saline influence show frequently conductivity between 130 and 200 µS/cm. It is an appropriate value for freshwater aquatic life.
We can describe 3 areas :
‐ South‐East and lakes : low conductivity
‐ North‐West and Kolonnawa area: medium conductivity
‐ Coastal North and South: high conductivity and brackish water

Figure 7. Conductivity results on network
Temperature
The temperature is a more unstable parameter while remaining in a range of 25.5 and 34°C. Tropical climate, narrow air temperature range and shallow depth in wetlands can explain such low variability especially in the top layer.
Depending on the air temperature, sampling time and rainfall, the difference of temperature between the top and the bottom of the wetland can reach 2°, the bottom being most of the timecooler except in Kinda Canal. In this location, in June and July a lower temperature on the top layer has been observed(1 or 2°C lower than bottom layer). We cannot explain this exception in particular by comparing to nearest stations (Kirulapone canal and Heen Ela).However, during the June campaign, the temperature in Kirulapone canal decreased to 25.5°C accompanied by a shallow salinity increasing. The probable saline water input would have had an impact on few stations during this event.
Apart from previous anomaly, there is no correlation between temperature and other parameters: conductivity and salinity increasing does not affect systematically temperature. That is why the temperature variability seems to be mostly led by weather events.
Dissolved oxygen
Oxygen concentration in freshwater depends on temperature, gas exchange between water and air (helped by water turbulence), photosynthesis/respiration/decomposition phenomena and organic matter mineralization. Therefore, sampling time has a real impact on dissolved oxygen rates. Aquatic life is impossible below minimum concentration and each faunistic species has its own requirements in terms of oxygen needs

Campaign data demonstrate a very good range of dissolved oxygen (DO): the main stations are saturated (7.5 mg/l) with oxygen mainly in June but also throughout the sampling period except in August campaign. May and July campaigns are slightly lower saturation (near 7 mg/l). Concentration between locations in the same campaign is really homogenous (very low standard deviation) and it can be considered as fully compatible with the aquatic life. There are no permanent under saturated locations and no difference within the water column (only due to temperature variation creating over‐saturated concentration in depth).
The most stressing period remains the August campaign. DO decreases lower than 6 mg/l (considered as “good quality” for aquatic life) in 7 stations :
‐ Water inlet to Parliament Lake (St 4): the top layer shows 5.6 mg/l while other parameters are stable. It may indicate point‐source pollution.
‐ Dammaladeniyamedaela (St 5): same as St 4. It could suggest a pollution originating from south west of Parliament lake.
‐ Dematagoda Canal (St 14): Closer to the Kolonnawa Petroleum Corporation this station present a 5.5 mg/l concentration correlated to high conductivity (or salinity?).
‐ Dematagoda Canal (St 23): Station known as highly polluted area, the dissolved oxygen value is the lowest in this dataset (5mg/l). Very paradoxical situation: top and mid layer is relatively saline and over‐saturated whereas bottom layer is undersaturated and low conductivity.
‐ St. Sebastian Canal (St 26): This station should indicate the load of pollutants flows into Kelani River. The dissolved oxygen rate is low (5.7 mg/l) but it is not a value of concern.
‐ Redbanaela (St 27): Same value as St. Sebastian Canal but in the brackish water, so the saturation is lower in saline water.
‐ Norris Canal (St 35): Like Dammaladeniyamedaela Station, the dissolved oxygen rate is relatively low (5.3 mg/l) and suggest pollution maybe due to adjacent hospital.
Finding such issue only during August campaign while other parameters remain relatively stable can be an indicator of chronic or seasonal pollution which would require further investigations.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
TDS level rise mainly causes water turbidity, and consequently slows photosynthesis and disturbs the trophic web (flora and fauna) particularly when it is permanent. TDS can be naturally important in river showing a high sediment transport or in lentic area like wetlands. But in a polluted area, the sources can be agricultural and road runoff, soil contamination, etc. and generally associated with nutrient runoff (N, P, C).
We use French and WFD standards to classify values. It seems to be a very harsh scoring system regarding this parameter because we do not know the natural TDS rate in Colombo low flow canal system. Nevertheless, the scores is a reflection of scientific reality: lower the TDS is, lower the stress on aquatic life is.

TDS remains high during all the sampling period. The lowest value (28.9 mg/l) was found in Atunkedeniyamedaela in May. It means that low turbidity and TDS exist in Sri Lanka area but it is really exceptional.
TDS fluctuated as follows during the sample period: lower in May and July (from 106 to 128 mg/l) and higher in June and August (203 and 201 mg/l) showing a normal link with rainfall. But it interesting to notice that the median range from 100 to 125 mg/l. Only a few stations show a very high rate (more than 250 mg/l) correlated to conductivity increasing (more than 500 µS/cm): Kolonnawa Canal (St 10) in August, Kittampahuwa canal (St 13) in June and July, Dematagoda Canal (St 14) from June to August, Dehiwala canal (St 22) in June and August, St. Sebastian Canal (St 25) in August and finally Redbanaela (St 27) from June to August. The station 22 and 27 are closer to the sea (it can be a brackish water) but also potentially polluted, so source of TDS increasing is not easy to discriminate.
4.2. LABORATORY PARAMETERS To complete the previous assessment, a few parameters have been analyzed in laboratory during the first campaign in May. According to the urban nature of the area and pollution sources already identified, the analyses focused on nutrients, phytoplankton and microbiology.
General comments:
Total suspended solids (TSS)
This parameter shows a better situation than TDS, but 3 stations seem heavily polluted and 5 slightly polluted.
BOD
Fairly good status, but once again 5 stations are polluted and 3 others slightly polluted.
COD
This is the first parameter to show the bad water quality in the Colombo area. 30% of the sampling stations are in a bad or very bad status and 4 stations in a medium status.
Free ammonia
This is the most worrying parameter and a reliable pollution indicator. 43% of the stations present a very bad score and 11% a bad score (more than 2 mg/l). Ammonia comes from organic matter mineralization (). Waste water and agricultural uses are the main sources in polluted areas. It can be toxic for aquatic life over 2 mg/l. Under normal oxygenated conditions ammonia is not very stable and can become nitrite or nitrate. It is even more surprising because dissolved oxygen is very high (often saturated).
Nitrate

In contrast to ammonia, nitrate is very low for all station and the situation seems really very good. It is a main paradoxical point because the nitrate is the stable form of nitrogen in water but in 50% of the stations ammonia is higher.

Phosphate
This parameter also highlights the pollution status of the monitoring stations: 23% are in bad or very bad situation and 23% are in medium status.
Chlorophyll a
The general status is very good. Chlorophyll a rate is overall very low. It is surprising in such a slow‐moving canal system enhanced by large amount of nutrients, but it can be explained by the very important TDS rate which keeps down the primary production (contrary to Beira Lake).
Coliforms and E. coli
This parameter indicates a very good bacteriological water quality all over the area. This result is really surprising too because of many waste water inlets in canal system. If further analysis confirms this state, this is a good point.
Synthesis
Finally, with this small dataset and using only the first campaign to assess water quality on the top layer (water sampling location) and without taking TDS parameter when it is the only one to downgrade the station, we can conclude:
‐ Very bad quality : 50% of this network
‐ Bad water quality: 15% of this network
‐ Medium quality: 15% of this network
‐ Good quality: 20% of this network

4.3. PHYTOPLANKTON COMMUNITY STRUCTURE
Global overview
i. Species richness
The inventories allowed identifying 43 taxa among all stations. Those taxa belong to 8 phytoplanktonic classes:
• Cyanophyceae : 11 taxa, • Xanthophyceae : 2 taxa, • Chlorophyceae : 14 taxa, • Bacillariophyceae : 9 taxa, • Zygnematophyceae : 3 taxa, • Chrysophyceae : 1 taxon, • Euglenophyceae : 2 taxa, • Ulvophyceae : 1 taxon.
The average species richness is of 7.3 taxa per station. It ranges from 2 (on station 2) to 15 taxa (on stations 18 and 21). For stations 1 to 3, there is no specific trend regarding the phytoplankton species richness values, either according to the canal nature or location criteria. However, for stations 36 to 40 which are on lakes, poor species richness has been observed, with 3 to 6 taxa recorded on each station. The main tendencies of taxa population for each site are the following:
4 phytoplankton classes (Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Zygnematophyceae) co‐dominate the population for stations 23 and 32, due to the poor species richness (4 taxa, 1 taxa per category).
On stations 8, 13, 14 and 27, 3 classes co‐dominate : Cyanophyceae, Xanthophyceae et Chlorophyceae ;
Cyanophyceae and Chlorophyceae co‐dominate on stations 1, 11, 21, 24 and 28 ; Cyanophyceae and Xanthophyceae co‐dominate on station 2 ; Bacillariophyceae dominate on stations 3 and 20 ; Chlorophyceae dominate on sites 4,7, 9, 16, 17, 18, 19, 26 and 29 ; Cyanophyceae dominate on sites 5, 6, 10, 20, 22, 25, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40.
ii. Cell densities
Phytoplankton cell densities proportion can fluctuate due to the colonial nature of certain species. Indeed, a colony which consists of several cells will count as one subject, and therefore the cell density will be lower for colonial species.
Cell densities range from 203 cells per liter (station 30) to 3871667 cells per liter for station 36. As for overall trends:

Bacillariophyceae dominate sites 3 and 30 populations ; Xanthophyceae dominate sites 21 and 32 ; Chlorophyceae dominate the population of 15 sites : 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 17, 18, 22, 24, 26,
28, 29 and 34 ; Cyanophyceae are greater within the population of 20 stations: 1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19,
20, 23, 25, 27, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40.

Table 6. Dominant taxa in population for stations 16 to 30.
The population of 21 stations has one taxon which exceeds 50% of the global population. Those stations are the 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 24, 27, 29, 31, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40. Fifteen of which are dominated first by Cyanophyceae, second by Clorophyceae. For all those stations the population is unbalanced, with one taxa dominating over the rest of the population. For the other stations, the population is more even, with fewer dominant taxa, and in weaker proportions. The amount of dominant taxa ranges from 1 (station 36) to 7 (stations 7 and 30), with a total proportion comprised between 80 and 100%. This means that the groups of non‐dominant taxa are a small fraction of the population.

Table 7. Dominant taxa within population of stations 31 to 40.
ii. Blooms
Total cell densities are presented in the Table 8, in which also appears the physico‐chemical quality for each station (with colors, from very good in blue to bad in red). The top cell density was observed on station 36 (South West Beira Lake) with 3871,1 cells/mL. This station was classified as bad according to its chemical quality. The lowest cell density was observed on station 30 (Evarihena Tank), classified as very good quality. The highest densities, within a 145,7 cell/mL gap from the top one, were observed on stations 31, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40. Station 31 was classified as good chemical quality whereas stations 36 to 40 were ranked from bad to very bad quality. As no tendency can be identified from those observations, it is therefore not accurate to link cell density and chemical quality.

Table 9. Cell densities (cells/mL) for the main genders under Cyanophyceae class (*= potentially toxic taxa)
The Cyanophyceae taxa which are the most represented within the populations are Chroococcus, Microcystis et Spirulina. Among the identified taxa, Lyngbya, Microcystis, Oscillatoria et Phormidium are known to be potentially toxic.
The most important density (above 100 cells/ml) have been only been observed on lake locations, for stations 36 to 40. The maximum density is for Chroococcus taxon (non toxic) on station 36: 3633.3 cells/mL.

Those densities are well below the 20000 cells/mL threshold and only one potentially toxic taxon, Microcystis, exceeds 100 cells/ml on three stations. The densities for the other potentially toxic taxa are lower.
2. Conclusions
Chlorophyll measures have shown that the monitoring sites located on the lakes (stations 36 to 40) have higher and quite significant phytoplankton biomass.
The identification and cells densities measures have not pointed out appalling proportion values nor toxic algae blooms.
However, Cyanophyceae mainly dominate the population of all sites, and especially on 5 in‐lake locations: Beira Lake, East Lake et Floating Market. The cell densities are higher for those stations, without however reaching a 20000 cells/mL (only for potentially toxic taxa) threshold, considered as health hazardous in France.
Those potentially toxic taxa (Lyngbya, Microcystis, Oscillatoria et Phormidium) were identified on most of the sites excepted stations 4, 9 and 12. Blooms have not been observed, or quantified with the phytoplankton population analysis, but need to be monitored especially throughout yearly climatic fluctuation. Indeed, favorable conditions for algae blooms can occur with climatic seasonal variation.
4.4. HISTORICAL DATA Given the small dataset available for this study, we used existing data provided by SLLRDC to have a complementary overview of the watershed.
All the graphs are presented in Appendix 3. to the key lessons are highlighted from the graphs :
pH
Data from SLLRDC monitoring network match with this study dataset. pH ranges from 6 to 8 but can reach 5 to 10. Since beginning of 2013, the general trend is to shift from slightly acid to slightly basic all over the network. Floating market shows the greatest gap between slightly acid to very basic.
Conductivity
Data from SLLRDC monitoring network matches with study dataset. Conductivity remains stable apart from 4 stations:
‐ St 2: End point of St. Sebestian Canal (Outlet to Beira lake)
‐ St 19: Station No.02 :Diyawanna Oya , Battaramulla south Pelawatte.
‐ St 24: Beira Lake just behind Pettah private bus stand.
‐ St 25: St.Sebestian Canal about 200m downstream from location no.02

Page | 39
For these four stations, we notice a conductivity increasing since beginning of 2012. Three of them are linked with Beira lake outlet. The last one is an inlet in Parliament Lake but nearest stations (St 18 and 20) do not follow the same trend.
Temperature
Data from SLLRDC monitoring network matches with this study dataset. The mean temperature range from 27° to 32° and min/max form 26° to 34°. Only two stations present a slightly different trend: st 24 and 25 show a temperature increase (about 2 or 3 degrees). Once again it relates to Beira lake outlet in St. Sebastian Canal.
Dissolved oxygen
Data from SLLRDC monitoring network do not match with this study dataset apart for station 3 (Bridge on Kotte north canal), station 20 (Diyawanna Oya ,Battaramulla north Diyawanna Oya outlet) and station 21 (Kelaniya river close to new bridge upper stream to confluence of St.Sebestian canal). These ones range between 6 and 7 mg/l. The rest of the network presents low or very low (mean 3 mg/l) and very erratic dissolved oxygen rate. If the sampling time can explain a part from this trend, the situation was mainly under‐saturated from 2004 to end of 2012. Since beginning of 2013, the trend is increasing DO but more erratic.
During May 2015, water samplings have been led by both SLLRDC and University team on 3 stations (St. 3/9/20). For each of them, SLLRDC team found about 4.80 mg/l of oxygen whereas University team record 7.3 mg/l. The difference cannot be only explains by the sampling time, but several explanations such as the equipment used, time and day of probe calibration in relation with the atmospheric pressure variation, professional training and exact position of the probe in the water (surface, mid‐depth, bottom) can be advanced.
Yet what are the implications of such differences in dataset? It is difficult to determine which team is nearest to field reality however, if SLLRDC team was correct conditions for aquatic life would be very difficult during the ten year (and the study did not reveal this to be the case). On the other hand, very high ammonia rates could be explained by a undersaturated environment. This issue really needs further investigations to direct certain part of wetland management plan.
Salinity
Data from SLLRDC monitoring network matches with this study dataset. In the SSLRDC network we can distinguish three groups of stations:
‐ Mainly freshwater : average salinity lower than 0.015% (0.15ppt) and never over 0.1%
‐ Seasonal brackish water: average salinity between 0.015 and 0.5% fluctuating all along the year in particular during dry season.
‐ Brackish water: more than 0.5% and occasionally lower than 0.015%.

Table 10. Salinity groups on historical network
There is no real trend but in some stations (St 12/13/14) we can find a slight salinity increase since the beginning of 2012.
Turbidity
Turbidity has not been measured during these campaigns so there is no correlation between the two data sets. However, TDS and TSS are linked to turbidity, that is why we can confirm that most of the canal system presents a medium or bad quality regarding turbidity.
Historical data are quite interesting for two reasons:
‐ From the monitoring start to early 2009, turbidity levels are predominantly lower than 30 NTU (average: 15 NTU). This is indicative of good or very good quality over the network.
‐ From the beginning 2010 to the present day and particularly to mid‐2012, a harsh turbidity increase reaching an average of 55 NTU but very variable. Since that time, turbidity fluctuates and is very high, having a strong, constant and damaging influence on aquatic life.
BOD
Data from SLLRDC monitoring network match with this study dataset. BOD fluctuates as the turbidity along this period (after and before beginning of 2010) but it is generally lower since beginning of 2014.
Two groups of station can be discriminate:

Ammonia
Data from SLLRDC monitoring network matches this study dataset. Ammonia fluctuates as the turbidity, BOD and COD along this period with a little lag (around the beginning of 2011) but it is generally lower since end of 2014.
Two groups of stations can be discriminated: the same as COD parameter. As stated previously, ammonia rates are really worrying because their concentration is higher than 2 mg/l and can be toxic for aquatic life. This is the case for 64% of the stations.
Nitrate
Data from SLLRDC monitoring network matches this study dataset. There is a general trend to slightly increase since the beginning of 2012, but Nitrate rate remains very low all over the network.
Phosphate
Data from SLLRDC monitoring network matches this study dataset. However there are no real discernible trends. However, for a few stations (coastal St 4/5/6 and on Kelany River St 21/23/26) and a fast increase has been recorded since the beginning of 2014, correlated with the salinity increase.
Two groups of stations can be discriminate:

4.5. WATER QUALITY SYNTHESIS Following the previous assessment, we can conclude:
‐ Historical network shows a bad or very bad quality for 64% of the stations, which is in accordance with assessment led for this study.
‐ The pollution increase is growing faster from 2010 to now. Eventhough as a result the actual water quality is poor, the anthropogenic pollution sources can be easily identified and addressed with an efficient management plan. Over a larger time‐scale, 5‐years pollution can even been considered as a short time pollution, with a natural ecological potential still remaining on the watershed.
‐ Most parameters which are exhibiting degradation are due to domestic waste water. These include :

o Turbidity: sharp deterioration since 2010 ;
o BOD: deterioration since 2010;
o COD: deterioration since 2010;
o Ammonia: partially deterioration since 2011;
o Phosphate: high deterioration in 2014.
‐ End of 2014 seems to be better for all parameters.
‐ Parliament Lake and Kelany river remains in a good or medium quality only regarding to these parameters. However, degradation has been record since 2010 too.
‐ The dissolved oxygen values seem to be very low and do not correlate with University sampling results. Other parameters are substantially equivalent. It does raise questions about SLLRDC laboratory reliability.

5 BEIRA LAKE
5.1. WATER Fifteen stations on the three water bodies which comprise Beira Lake have been sampled for physicochemical in situ parameters during the four months campaign from May to August. Due to time constraints, this campaign did not include the wet season. Table 15 shows results.
This program has provided many lessons about lake functioning:
Depth
The depth is roughly the same in all stations during these 4 months. The water level in the lakes is managed by a dam before discharging in the sea or into the canal. During medium or high water level this downstream control kept the same depth for all water bodies. It also means that the sediments are never exposed and drying up.
East Beira Lake is the deepest with 1.50 m to 3.75m depth. Hence, this lake is not a flat‐bottom and shows a variable bathymetry.
On the other hand, South west Beira Lake (1.45 m depth) and Floating market (around 2 meter depth) are most probably uniform depth.
pH
Contrary to the canal system, the lakes show a very alkaline pH due to primary production and continuous bloom.
During the sampling period, pH gets more alkaline over the whole water column. The end of August shows maximum basic pH over the top locations. pH reaches 10.5 value meaning that water cannot support vertebrate aquatic life (potentially causing fish kills).
However pH becomes more neutral from the top to the bottom of water column. pH decreases from 10 to 8 which provides conditions suitable for aquatic life throughout this period.
pH never become acid (less than 7). This is a very interesting point insofar as the water in canal system is mostly acid. In this way, aquatic life would be very different in these ecosystems (without taking account lotic or lentic characteristics). It is also interesting because a neutrophic lake can present acidification near the bottom layer (sometimes pH 4) associated with hydrogen sulfide release producing conditions unsuitable for fish. The lakes do not work this way but further data are required to explain why.
Conductivity
Conductivity remained fairly stable (between 250 and 300 µS/cm)in each location during the three first three campaigns. We can notice a little increase from May to August (correlated to temperature). During the last campaign, conductivity increased slightly along depth in East Lake (the deeper). It could be the result of increasing of metal solubility, Fe and Mn, but cannot be confirmed.
All values allow aquatic life.

Temperature
The full temperature ranges from 29.3 to 35.4°C. Climate and shallow depth explain such range. Average temperature is about 31°C and August is the warmest month. The temperature decreases rapidly, 2 or 3°C, from the surface to 60‐100 cm in‐depth. It remains stable after to the bottom. So we can notice a real thermocline but the other parameters do not show such break from top to bottom layer. This thermocline represents the light penetration limit due to algae bloom. Below the thermocline and photosynthesis is extremely limited.
Dissolved Oxygen
DO generally follows the same trend than temperature in August. DO is strongly correlated to primary productivity (best in August) and likewise the thermocline, we can see an oxycline exclusively in August. Below 1 meter depth, DO is stable at 7 mg/l during May, June and July.
The second point concerns the decrease during August 13 to 6 mg/l. As just exposed, there is an existing correlation but it means that bottom layers are less oxygenated and stressful for aquatic life. Once again, shallow depth allows preserving a sufficient level of oxygen but it would be more stressful during dry season.
Salinity
Salinity is very stable (around 0.12 g/l) overtime and along the water column. The values do not translate a proper brackish water but a slightly brackish environment during the sampling period.
The only point to notice is the upwelling of the salt water wedge in August only below 2 meters depth (rare). It should be interesting to follow the trend in underground water during the same period. Indeed, salinity increase in the bottom layer can interfere with ion balance and enlighten the fact that the acidification and metal release seems not to be linked to trophic status (hypertrophic lakes).

Concerning chemical values (assessed in laboratory), we can notice :
TSS
Values are medium to bad but not really worrying if we considered the algae bloom.
BOD and COD
These two parameters show a really poor water quality in particular for the COD which is very poor in the 3 parts of the lake.
N (ammonia and nitrate)
This major nutrient is found at a really low level. The major pollution source is urban, that is why the most of nitrogen input is directly consumed by primary production (algae). According to that, dissolved nitrogen is very low. This nutrient is apparently the “limiting factor” to algae development. It means that if we monitor increase of N input we can monitor bloom increasing. Actually the algae production is based on the capacity of sediment to release the nitrogen stock in an assimilable form to algae. In the other hand, dead algae drop to the bottom of the lake to be decayed by bacterian compartment, increasing nitrogen stock in the sediment and water in sediment.
P (phosphate)
This second major nutrient, contrary to nitrogen, is found at a high level with a relatively good bioavailability. The P input is higher than algae can consumed for their growth, so the excess remains dissolved. This phenomenon is typical for city lakes1
Chlorophyll a
It is one of the ways to quantify primary production. This value confirms the very high level of algae. This permanent bloom reflects the actual imbalance of this lake functioning. The lakes remain in a hypertrophic status.
Coliforms and E. coli
In contrast, microbiological contamination seems very low in such a case of urban pollution. These values really need to be confirmed during another sampling campaign, but in that case, it shows the success of the waste water collection all around the 3 parts of the lake.
In general: there are no significant differences between the 3 lakes. However, we must be careful of station 36, in the South West Beira Lake which showed the worst values for the main parameters. This part of Beira lake has already been restored during a first management plan but it seems that this action plan has not succeeded in dealing with all the compartments.

5.2. SEDIMENT WATER This compartment is currently assessed based on the French lake diagnosis (IRSTEA2, 2003). It seems to be the first time that this has been done for Beira Lake (e.g. bibliography Interim report 1). However it represents an interface between water column and sediment and gives more information about lake functioning. Of course this initial assessment cannot deliver precise answers but it can open a new way of comprehending the Beira lake issues.
Firstly all analysis led during this first campaign presents a high risk regarding water pollution according to EU WFD. Apart from nitrate, under standards, which can be explained by chemical cycle of nitrogen in sediment compartment, ammonia, nitrite (very toxic) and total nitrogen contents are really high. South West Beira Lake and East Beira Lake are extremely similar in term of nutrient level (including different forms of Phosphorus).
The heavy input of nutrients by different outlets during many decades has led to heavy primary productivity support by new inputs and from within the sediment water stock. This compartment acts like bank, helped by relative shallow depth, catching degradation product (nutrients) in case of heavy production and releasing nutrients to maintain production.
In temperate areas, temperature and low levels of sunlight in lakes in the winter can stop this cycle, but in tropical areas there is a permanent primary productivity (temperature and sunlight allow this functioning) and this can only be stop by decreasing nutrient inputs.
Iron and manganese concentrations are also very high but are not a pollution index. Iron and manganese could be natural markers of geochemical backgrounds. However, South West Beira and East Beira lake are, once again, very high but similar. By contrast the Floating market water show very high level (five to ten times other content). The last station is clearly polluted.

5.3. SEDIMENT The sediment analysis shows a relatively good content according to EU WFD standards. Nutrient and organic carbon are quite low in opposition with heavy primary productivity and trophic status (hypertrophic). Dredging activities in South West Beira Lake and the Floating Market could explain such difference between observed and forecasted levels. However, East Beira lake sediment content is really unexpected.
Similarly, chemical samples do not show any pesticides or PAH contamination. If agriculture or industry are clearly not the major pollutant activities, domestic and road traffic pollutants contribute to water contamination. In this case, the absence of PAH seems really paradoxical, but if it is confirmed, it should be a very interesting and a reason to hope for managing a part of Beira lake issues.
Nevertheless, heavy metal concentration shows important contamination in particular regarding zinc, lead and to a lesser extent mercury in East Beira Lake. All these heavy metals are both generated by industrial or domestic activities and are frequently found in old urban lake due to, among other things, waste water facilities (old pipe).
This last point also demonstrates the importance of dredging sediments for every watershed in order to restore and improve ecosystems functioning.

5.4. BEIRA LAKE HYDROSYSTEM ANALYSIS The sampling period does not cover a year cycle, which should be the minimal length of time for accurate and reliable conclusions. Despite that, the relatively stable climate in Colombo have indicated some strategic lessons:
‐ A permanent bloom seems to be maintained by: on the one hand, new input of nitrogen and phosphorus from the catchment area, on the other hand by the nutrients stock in sediment water.
‐ Sediment water represents a main stock of nutrients for the whole lake system. A management plan needs to embed sediment dredging activities or/and reduction nutrient level in sediment.
‐ Bloom variations create difficult biogenic conditions: for instance with a top layer of alkaline pH, and a bottom layer of low oxygenation.
‐ During this sampling period, the bottom layer conditions were still not abiotic: pH did not become very acid, DO level remained medium, iron and manganese dissolved part was poor but it could be worst, taking account the permanent bloom and trophic status.
‐ Chlororphyla confirms hypertrophic status.
‐ The microbiological contamination is not really of a high level, indeed waste water collection seems to be partially successful.
‐ The sediment does not show major micro‐pollutant contamination. However, the sediment contains medium to bad heavy metal contamination (in particular lead and zinc). Dredging activities need to be clearly regulated and fishing strictly prohibited during such works.
‐ Salinity increase in the bottom layer (2 meters depth) during a period indicates that the saline water wedge is clearly not far from the top of aquifer.
5.5. BEIRA LAKE ACTION PLAN Various studies3have already shown that the Beira lake hydrosystem is heavy polluted and has a hypertrophic status. Our study fills some specific gaps (sediment quality) but considerable elements are missing in order to have a complete and comprehensive overview. The main elements include the fauna (fish, worms in sediment, zooplankton) and flora (algae). In the same way, it is absolutely necessary to lead such study during at least one year, and ideally during three years. It means sampling every three months a few parameters and every year all of them.

Nevertheless, the course of action mentioned in previous studies basically remains strong:
1. Reduction of pollutant loadings into the Lake addressed pollution entering the lake from its catchment:
BOD, COD, TDS, nitrogen and phosphorus still increase in different compartments (water, sediment water, sediment). Previous restoration in South East Lake did not have the expected effects and the overall quality is approximately the same in the two lakes. Only the Floating market seems less polluted probably because recent dredging had an effect in a smaller area.
Obviously, the first activity before beginning other actions is to decrease the discharges from all the inlets in Beira Lake. It is the only way to stop nutrients and heavy metal inlet in the lake.
It already means to assess status and water quality of all the inlets arriving in Beira Lake for example by conducting 24 hours integrated water quality monitoring. Once each discharge point is monitored and characterized, we could then look at green solutions to address single or combined discharge points. For instance we could route multiple discharge points in one area into a constructed wetland if the chemical parameters could be treated through an appropriately designed wetland.
2. Only if the first activity is complete, restoration procedure can be delivered. Even though the nutrient inlets can be stopped, we have seen that the sediment water and sediment behave like a bank, so that algae bloom can persist for several years or decades.
Water, sediment water and sediment quality also resulted in:
a. Heavy metal concentrations indicate that there is a strong need to treat sustainably with the lake sediments.
b. Algae filtration has no significant value as a result of heavy nutrient rate which maintains primary production system.
c. Dilution (supplying water from another source like Kelany River) will have no real and sustainable impact to reduce algae bloom due to huge nutrient stock in water sediment and sediment.
d. Phytophage fish will have no impact apart from the end of restoration plan, in case of bloom decrease. Actual chemical indicators do not allow fish population to be sustained (basic pH, high TSS, low oxygen, etc.) and it does not fix the problem of nutrient amount in the lake. It is another link in the foodweb, but not a key‐factor.
e. Using biofan, in the same way as phytophage fish, it could be interesting as soon as nutrient rate is lower and/or deoxygenation cause disturbing effects (metal and H2S discharge) in bottom layer. A biofan enables oxygenation and mixes water column. On one hand, it can allow fauna and flora development in lake. On the other hand, if it is a shallow depth lake, it can mix sediment water and maintain nutrient discharge therefore, increase primary productivity (algae bloom).
That is why the second activity would be the dredging of all the lakes sediments. It means that during this period (one or two years) the bloom would be even more intense probably causing more turbidity, more deoxygenation leading to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas discharge. The whole dredging sediment must be placed in an appropriate landfill (high lead, mercury and zinc rates) or ideally they should be decontaminated before being placed over land.

Online water quality monitoring is needed during dredging activity in order to prevent high gaseous discharge potentially toxic for hydrosystem (in St Sebestian Canal and Kelany river) and for the neighborhoods of the lakes (people in hotel, industry, etc.). Chemical monitoring device on buoys could be used for early warning. In parallel, monitoring every three month must be led on water column, algae, sediment, and worms in sediment in order to assess when to stop dredging.
3. This two first steps completed, and only after, third step can be a more smooth restoration plan including shoreline beautification, development of recreational facilities, fish restocking (with indigenous species), etc.
Each activity needs an appropriate monitoring system developed in due course.
In our view, however, certain issues should be more clearly defined or emphasized, management plan must follow this process to be successful. If technical stakeholders want to begin by second or third step, funders will probably be disappointed by the lack of progress.

6 SURFACE WATER QUALITY MONITORING NETWORK: A NEW STRATEGY This part presents a proposed strategy to assess water quality in order to build management plan allowing water improvement in Colombo area. Protection and enhancing ecosystem services can be achieve only by a better understanding of how these water bodies function in order to focus efforts on the main critical issue.
According to this, we have developed this monitoring strategy. This should not be considered a final strategy but represents an initial outline from which a final strategy can be implemented. Nevertheless we identify the key points for both Activities 1 and 2.
Table 18. Colombo Water Quality Monitoring Network Design and capacity building

6.1. CURRENT WATER QUALITY MONITORING ASSESSMENT IN COLOMBO AREA
Needs and priority of key users
There is an increasing demand for water quality information around the world to protect lives and ecosystems from the adverse impacts of pollution. Moreover, water quality information is needed for planning and decision making in many socio‐economic sectors whose outputs are quality sensitive such as integrated water resources management, agriculture, industry, health and tourism.
Although, as stated in a UN‐Water Country Briefs Project4: “Investments in coordinated data collection, collation, analysis and dissemination is vital to demonstrate the benefits of water‐related investments to governments, donors and also private investors”, in most middle income countries these agencies are facing a number of institutional and financial challenges preventing them from responding to the demands for accurate and timely available information.
WMD can become a monitoring network manager for the whole Colombo area but it means that division needs to know all end‐users needs and how to provide them. A first task should be to assess all the potential users of this data and how they can use it. SLLRDC will be a primary data user so the WMD should find the best way to share new data and to collect information coming from other users (industry, irrigation, road, etc.) and monitor the quality and compatibility of the data.
Means to assess water quality
In the same way that monitoring networks have to be optimized, it is absolutely necessary to have a good understanding of the means, human resource and material, to complete this task successfully.
Such an understanding can provide information of over or underestimated parts but also help to define the most beneficial approach from a capacity building program by focusing on main lack of means in the actual team.
To improve and make this information available to the public: database and online GIS
Monitoring results must be adequately consolidated, analyzed and used. Actually, there is no system for regular monitoring or updating information, and when WMD monitoring data or surveys have been carried out they have generally addressed only the capturing of chemical information, not the provision of information and services to end‐users.
In order to achieve this goal, we propose three steps:

- To build a Quality Management System (QMS) from the laboratory to the end‐users: on every step, an auditor needs to check the data and produces a report classified in the QMS. This task is performed during water sampling, probe calibration, data entry, etc.
- Each WMD agent should use the foreground which they own, or ensure that it is used. It means that the data used to build charts, maps, etc. are also used for water quality synthesis, in meetings, in newsletters, etc. This also helps to ensure the quality of the data by being faced with other users. For example, water quality of Colombo annual synthesis displayed through maps for each parameter monitored. The report produced aims to establish the status of the wetlands and canals at a given time and to observe trends compared with previous situations. When an environmental issue is identified a program of remediation should be undertaken. Annual reporting may be also expected to evaluate the efficiency of monitoring in terms of site location, sampling parameters and protocols.
- The basis of any effective monitoring program is a reliable baseline data set against which is used to evaluate and compare future environmental data. The database collected during several years is also a repository of information needed to forecast the environmental impacts of any remediation project. Moreover, the data volume is higher every year and the need of organization is a critical feature. In order to disseminate this information, a data base is not sufficient: it has to be linked to a GIS web portal. The data management system is built on a computerized database engine with web, user/data interface and GIS capabilities. Users could be internal (SLLRDC) or external (other ministry, project engineer, NGOs, ordinary citizen).
6.2. FORMULATE EFFECTIVENESS MONITORING PROGRAM/DESIGN: USE NEW PARAMETERS AND KNOW HOW TO EXPLOIT RESULTS
Objectives
The objective is to measure the response of aquatic communities to anthropogenic stressors on account of water quality, habitat quality and biotic interactions. The environmental stressors include toxic substances, urban influences, sedimentation, etc. Global monitoring will allow assessing the main disturbance but will not be focused on special impact. It refers to long‐term monitoring or a supervisory control.
The monitoring network could be enhanced by operational control when a remediation plan is led in a restricted area to monitor effectiveness of measures. It could be the case with an operational control all around Beira Lake in case of management plan.

Third monitoring network is the investigative control. It aims to identify the pollution source and the functioning of a water body before building a management plan. It can also be the case of Beira Lake or Kolonnawa Marsh for example.
Fourth monitoring network, but logically the first to be proposed and integrated to a supervisory control, is the reference control. The idea is to monitor undisturbed reference sites over a wide range of natural environmental variation, developing a predictive model that relates the habitat attributes of these sites to their biotic community, and then predicting the expected community assemblage for a particular project site (“test site”) in reference condition.5 By comparing the forecasted community to the present‐proved one, the test site is assessed and its quality is compared to the reference environmental conditions. The identified reference conditions allow providing for example thresholds for physic‐chemical and biological parameters or community structures for aquatic species. A reference station network is set up to monitor impacts compared with undisturbed/reference condition sites.
A best use of existing networks
We have previously shown monitoring network used by SLLRDC (since 2004) and the one implemented in this study. There is also the monitoring network managed by the CEA: although it is not focused on the Metropolitan Colombo area, its few stations provide a fair information source mostly because the whole watershed of Kelany river is covered by this network. In an Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) approach, monitoring water quality all along the river is a very relevant approach.
The first step should be to redesign the actual SLLRDC network for optimization and modernization to answer current need. The second step is to build a pollution sources map to focus on major source of disturbance. The third step is to have an even representation of basin types (size and land‐use).
Nevertheless, according to first results we encourage WMD to follow a few recommendations synthesize in the table.

Parameters and frequency
There are several methods for assessing water quality to ensure the efficiency of water quality monitoring. Each method has its own particular application, advantages and disadvantages in terms of precision, reliability, discrimination6, ecological effect measurement and costs (Table 20). The combination of several techniques is preferred. Bio‐monitoring methods are useful for assessing the overall impact because they integrate long‐term pollution information.

Hydro‐biological indicators help evaluate connections between the various components belonging to an aquatic system, such as the physicochemical quality of water, aquatic fauna and flora. Hydro‐biological indicators include :
• Microscopic algae : chlorophytes, chromophytes (diatoms) compound by periphyton and phytoplankton,
• Macrophytes (helophytes, hydrophytes…), • Microscopic animals (Copepod, Rotifer, Cladocer, Protozoon, …), • Benthic invertebrates (mollusks, insects, worms, …), • Fish.

The principle of hydrobiology monitoring mainly consists in understanding conditions required from each aquatic species to survive and reproduce in the aquatic environment, their relationships with each other and the relation they have with the aquatic environment, and especially with the water quality (space‐time evolution). Hydrobiology takes a great role in freshwater quality monitoring networks. Thus, through time, experts have developed different biotic indexes for classifying waters quality according to the biotic communities that they supported. It is necessary to use a broad and adapted set of indexes in order to establish a river's "overall” hydro‐biological quality.
Colombo University already monitors benthic invertebrates. The use of this bio‐indicator should be facilitating as the WMD team use biotic index for benthic invertebrates. On the other hand, a relevant index for phytoplankton does not exist. It may be a strategic development to build an adapted index. However, several community structure indexes (Shannon and Weaver index, etc.) could be sufficient in a first time. For example, the effectiveness monitoring in Europe is based on both several biotic compartments, but largely phytoplankton in slow flow area.
Others biological compartments seem to be uirrelevant due to warm, silty, eutrophic (rich in nutrients) waters that is why these two groups should be the basis of bio‐monitoring efforts in Colombo area. In such canals and wetland, turbidity damages the vegetation development and makes it too difficult to sample.
Equipment
To monitor and manage the water quality in the water bodies, different ways can be used: sampling team for the laboratory parameters or remote device. Such sensors are connected with a data Logger through cables or a wireless link and can measure temperature, pH, salinity, conductivity, DO, turbidity and chlorophyla. There are few functioning automatic stations or real time data transmission.
Figure13. Radio communication and data buoy
In the case of Colombo, due to an easy access to the sampling stations and stable value all along the year it seems not necessary to use such equipment on canals. Well trained staff might be sufficient.
The use of remote monitoring could be more interesting for Beira Lake where the WMD may need real time data in order to adapt technical response to algal bloom. Based on a good baseline study, such monitoring device could forecast (temperature, Chla, etc.) rapid degradation and enable the WMD to use appropriate management tools.

7 WETLAND GROUNDWATER FUNCTIONING
7.1. INTRODUCTION Underground water bodies have annual cycles, depending on climate (rainfall, temperature) and seasons. In that respect, a 5‐week monitoring is totally inadequate: information collected during 5 weeks is just a little pattern of the whole year cycle. There is no correct data interpretation possible with such a small time monitoring.
7.2. WATER LEVELS
Figure14. Water level
All we have here is relative water levels with respect to the ground, ie the highest values are the deepest ones. Water table is the deepest at borehole SLLRDC3 and the shallowest at SLLRDC2. Water table variations are rather small, but monitoring is too short to draw a conclusion.
We are unable to define which borehole is upstream and which one is downstream because we lack altitude of boreholes. Absolute water table levels are calculated by:
Absolute water level = Borehole altitude – water level with respect to the ground
The water table is flowing from highest absolute water levels to lowest ones.

7.3. GROUNDWATER QUALITY pH
Figure15. pH on groundwater
pH variations are interesting: nearly all boreholes show decreasing pH from an average 8 to an average 6.5. In this period, we are in a decreasing part of the pH curve, and monitoring must continue for us to see how pH behaves in the rest of the year.
pH is an important indicator, showing chemical changes in the underground water, sign of possible changes in aquifer supply (introduction of rain water from the surface for example) or changes in its interfering with the sea (depending of relative levels of the water table and the sea).

Salinity
Figure16. Salinity on groundwater
Salinity is stable but with a decreasing trend. Salinity is related to sea water intrusion. It is once again an important indicator of the water table chemistry.
Other parameters
Oxygen concentrations are quite high for a water table, showing that aquifer does interfere with surface water.
7.4. REQUIRED DATA FOR A SUITABLE MONITORING As seen in above text, a 5‐week monitoring is far too short to draw any meaningful conclusions. To be able to draw significant conclusions, the following are needed:
A localization map, with borehole names ; Borehole altitudes, to calculate absolute water levels and establish water flow directions; At least a one‐year monitoring of parameters ( water table, pH, salinity, DO, Temperature, TDS, EC) to have a complete water cycle;
To introduce at least a pollutant indicator from surface, as water table is near the surface, to monitor exchanges with surface water: nitrate, ammonium or total phosphorus are appropriate;
Make clear units of measured parameters.
